How to Run a Full Monero Node Over Tor

In this video I show you how to run a full monero node over the Tor network so you can use monero privately on all your devices without needing to keep redundant copies of the blockchain. You can run this node at home without having to pay for a domain, dynamic DNS service, or port forwarding.

Nice one. My first impulse after the price drop under 100 bucks was to friggin buy at least a bit and it payed out. If there is one crypto I truly believe in it's monero because the value comes from using it and you can use it 100% as intended 🎉 so many buyer & seller who care about privacy & opsec will use it

I've been researching cryptocurrency, and although I like the private transaction and free international transaction aspects, what good is it when the "exchanges" which convert between fiat money and crypto money take away a good chunk of both the user's money and privacy?

But then only the connection between your computer and your node is over tor, right? But what about the connection between your node and other nodes? Thats over clearnet then?

[@samtheman1868]

do you really need the 180gb monero blockchain file for this to work? is there a more memory cheap option? seems like a lot of harddrive space tbh

[@DerLuukee]

You can run a pruned node, which is about 1/8 of the full node. It'll work as usual, just without 7/8 of old transactions. So you'd be using around 20-25GB instead of the 180.

[@NoNameAtAll2]

[@T3aProducts]

​@@NoNameAtAll2Security

[@nicksjacku9750]

Not for one terabyte

[@DerLuukee]

@@NoNameAtAll2 it would take more nodes to reach the same level of distribution. If you start a pruned node, it will randomly select the 1/8 of transactions it wants to store. So you'd need a lot of pruned nodes to replace one full node. However if you can't afford to host a full node, a pruned one is better than nothing 😜

Is it worth to hodl Monero like Bitcoin? Not sure if its worth it because of its tail emission

[@mcbill7352]

I think monero is mostly used for anonymous transactions, rather than held as an asset.

[@thepapervigilante2208]

I think monero is most secure and scarce . Bitcoin supply will remain high than monero until 2042 so the tail emission of monero is near 0% inflation. It’s a ridiculous argument made by BTC maxis to keep their nonsense going

[@Oh_So_Based]

In the long run, I think BTC will be the Credit Card of the future & XMR will be the Cash of the future. I dont think you should HODL either one right now, but who knows ?

[@RedOneM]

Nobody has a crystal ball. Tail emission is a major advantage. Bitcoin has bunch of zombie coins. Meaning after the last bitcoin is mined it will deflate, as people lose their private keys. Terrible as a medium of exchange. Monero on the other hand has an annual inflation of 0.86% right now (year 2100 it's 0.52%, year 2140 it's 0.43% when bitcoin at the latest date enters deflation).
